[Q] Audio Skips and Pops [Partially Solved]

---

Here's an interesting problem for everyone to ponder:

My original setup was a stock rom with ryan's lag fix applied. My music played back just fine (WMA and MP3). Since I didn't backup my verizon apps correctly, I recently wiped everything and started over from scratch so I could get the latest update from Verizon. I gained root access again, and now, when I play music through any media player (stock app, winamp, mixZing, pandora, etc), there are noticeable skips in the audio every 15-20 seconds. I realize that pandora may be buffering, but there's no excuse for the others that are reading files from a class 6 microSD card.

Is this happening because I don't have a lagfix applied anymore? If that's the case, then it's incredible disappointing that a phone this powerful needs a hack to make music play back correctly. I don't want to install another lag fix, because, aside from the music, nothing seems to be noticeably slower on the device.

Any ideas?

I'd be interested to hear what solves this, as ever since I upgraded to DJ05 I have had the same audio skips, even on local content.

+1 on audio pops

I had audio problems on a lot of the kernels I've tried with this phone, but the jt stable voodoo 5 kernel doesn't have them. I did have them on his 11/25 version, and on still the greeknic versions I've tried.

It's definitely kernel related. I had that problem on geeknik's and jt 11/16. I'm on jt 11/11 now and I'm fine.

Someone on another forum had this narrowed down to the battery status polling, I think. Can't find the reference now...

Got stock kernal on my phone. No skips. I am rooted. Used to have skips on my last fascinate which I got replaced for the audio skipping problem.

Voodoo kernels don't seem to have the problem on the non voodoo try bumping min cpu to 200

take off your widgets to make sure it's not something simple. Battery widgets can do this

I did just install a new battery guage widget right around when the pops started... if that's the issue, i'm thanking you in advance. This has been quite annoying. I'll go kill the app for kicks here.
